Report: Jeff Fisher 'eyeing' Colts head coach position if available

Former Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher is reportedly interested in the same position for the Indianapolis Colts if it becomes available, per Mike Jurecki of Arizona Sports Station 98.7 FM.

Fisher, after being fired as the Rams head coach in 2016, is reportedly looking to make it back in the NFL and is “eyeing” the Colts as a possible destination should the position become available.

Jeff Fisher wants to get back into the NFL next year, could be eyeing three jobs if they open: Cleveland, Indy and Chicago. Fisher buyout from the Rams was $16M.

There is a strong feeling surrounding the organization that the Colts will make a change at head coach when the season is said and done. The decision might not be until after the regular season — and possibly the playoffs — have concluded.

Should the job come open, it is hardly likely that Fisher is at the top of the list for the candidates. In the regular season, Fisher’s teams have a record of 173-165-1 (.512) and a postseason record of 5-6 (.455).

Fisher’s teams routinely finish 8-8 (or something close to it) and that is not the direction the Colts want to go in as they’ve finished with a sub-.500 record for three straight seasons.

There are no reports that the Colts are interested in Fisher and there likely won’t be any as it doesn’t seem like the right fit if he is to make a comeback in the NFL.
